The UN atomic watchdog's Board of Governors has passed a resolution ordering Iran to improve cooperation and provide a comprehensive report, in an effort to push Iran into fresh nuclear talks. The UK, France, Germany, and the United States proposed the resolution, while China, Russia, and Burkina Faso voted against it. Iran has previously bristled at such resolutions and has responded by stepping up its nuclear activities and reducing IAEA oversight. Western powers hope that the report, due by spring 2025, will pressure Iran into negotiations on new restrictions on its nuclear activities.
